IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Improper use of the
grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, ground­ing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped
with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a ground­ing plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and ground­ed.

Consult a qualified electrician
or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly ground­ed.

If the outlet is a standard 2­prong wall outlet, it is your per­sonal responsibility and obliga­tion to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.

For best operation, plug this
appliance into its own electri­cal outlet to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or
tripping of circuit breaker

.

Do not under any circum-

stances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the
power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug

with this appliance.

Do not use an extension

cord with this appliance. If the
power cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or serv­ice technician install an outlet
near the appliance.

n order to achieve the maxi­mum storage capacity of fifty­one (51) bottles, it will be
necessary to position the bot­tles alternately on the upper
five (5) shelves, as shown in
Fig A. This will allow for the
storage of nine (9) 750 ml
bottles per shelf in each of
the top five shelves, and six

(Fig B) for a total storage
capacity of fifty-one (51) wine
bottles.

If humidity conditions are low,
it will be necessary to use the
humidors. Fill the humidors
about 3/4 full with fresh water,
and place one humidor on the
bottom shelf of each section.
Check the water level occa­sionally and refill as necessary.

NOTE: The use of the hum­diors will reduce the storage
capacity of the shelves on
which they are placed on by
